Help, can't find part

[nicolekarcher]

I have looked at every site on the internet and cannot seem to find the part I am looking for. I can't even find the same one that I have. What I am looking for is the hinge bracket that lifts my center console arm rest. It ceased and broke leaving me with no arm rest. It has the double cupholder dropdown pull out at the back, for the back seat. It is full of part numbers but none seem to come up on any site or at my local part store. I can't imagine that this is the one and only arm rest like this...where can I find this part. Here are 2 of the #'s on the broken bracket/hinge: PPE+PS-GF16<
and XL2X 78045C74
My vehicle is a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Can anyone help??
Thanks so much,
Nicole

Howdy Nicole -

Check out the following thread - http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=264850

One of the forum's vendors, Tousley Ford, gives a pretty hefty discount, and the rep that works with us is very knowledgeable. If you don't find your answer in this thread, post in the thread I linked to, and you should get taken care of. If you can take a picture of the part you're talking about (in addition to your description), that might also help in determining what it is that you need.

Two aftermarket options in steel. First one deletes the cupholders.
If you looking for the bottom hinge bracket, use the second link. GL

If it's the full center console and not the "bag" kind then you can go to the junkyard and get one out of a '95-01 Explorer. The lid and hinge on mine are both out of a '99 Ex..

Thanks for that, I just ordered the metal version from rock auto. I didn't know there was a metal option. I had bought the plastic one from the dealer and I broke it again so I ended up just dealing with it.
